ol4f Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi, just a simple question. Is it possible to copy/paste something into a layer mask? And How? I have a B/W layer i want to use as a mask for another layer. In Photoshop I just copy/past the whole layer into the layermask. AP does not past it into the mask but as an new layer. Or is there another easy way to use a complete B/W layer as a mask for another layer? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon1 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 yeah was the same for me, but I can´t find the post in which I asked about it anymore so it may look as if I´ve never asked :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_M Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Is this the only way to paste an image in the layer mask? No way whatsoever to copy and paste content directly into the mask layer? It's kind of slow to have to every time create/duplicate a layer, convert it to mask and then replace the old mask layer with that one. You can do it in 2 seconds in Photoshop with simple CTRL+C --> CTRL+V.
